Ben's Latest Update - 28/04/2026 28 April 2026
Ben has had a setback on his road to recovery with another operation on his right leg, quite a severe operation involving the removal of metal wear and replacing it. This operation has needed to be done for a while and has impacted his recovery timeframe.
We also know that an injury like this has been physically draining for him which everybody can also see but it is also affecting him mentally as well having his off days as to be expected. But he is a positive young man who will strive to do nothing but the best that he can do and anybody who knows him will know what kind of person he is very strong positive outgoing. With the support of his family friends work colleagues and the public who know him, we all know that he will be able to get through this.
Any further donations to contribute to aid him and his recovery would be appreciated.
